*Supplies needed*:
1. A pair of scissors
2. Sellotape
3. Tissue paper in colours/patterns of your choice*.
*For the ones in the photos, each flower requires tissue paper of approximately the following dimensions: 50cm x 18cm (20 inches x 7 inches). Of course these can be as large/small as you like – once you’ve had a go at one or two, you’ll be able to gauge how much/how little you need to work with to get the desired effect.
*How to*:
Step 1. Take a single sheet of tissue paper and lay it out on your workspace.
Step 2. Cut a long strip of tissue paper (approximately 18cm by 50cm to get the same size as the flowers in the photos).
Step 3. Take a corner of your strip as your starting point and begin to scrunch together one of the long ends around itself, pulling in more and more paper from the same long side as you go along. Ensure that you rotate the whole flower round as it gets bigger and bigger. You are both scrunching together the flower into the starting point and turning it at the same time.
Start from one corner of your strip.
Begin scrunching the paper together along that same side.
While scrunching rotate the flower wrapping it around
Keep going… Scrunch and rotate, scrunch and rotate.
Fluff out the sides as much or as little as you like.
Roll, tighten and squeeze the stem.
Step 4. Once you have completed your flower, cut a bit of sellotape and secure around the base of the flower to stop it from unfolding when being handled.
Cut approx. 8cm (3 inches) of tape.
Wrap the tape around the stem of the flower.
Finish wrapping and then secure the tape in place.
And you’re done!
